Roughness: 7- its really rough and i get headaches on it

Enjoyable: 5- I dont hate it, but I dont love it either

Line: 3- I litterally feel like passing out when im in the middle of this line on a hot day, there is no air and no water and for some reason I stand by big guys with no shirt on and there sweat glands working double time

Overall: 3- its not my least favorite ride in the park, but I've only ridden it once, and all I know is its not really worth the wait in my opinion, in a few years when no one will go on it anymore then I'll ride it.

Exactly my feeling. I've ridden it once and it was a pain on those turns.

Enjoyable: 8.5- This ride always makes me smile and I love the hairpin turns.
Roughness-7 Eh it's not too rough, but rough enough.
Line-2 This line seriously sucks like no other. With 32 people infront of you (enough to fill up one train of batman) you'll still end up waiting over 10 minutes. Horrible capacity.
I vote Deja Vu

Roughness: 1 - Smooth.
Enjoyable: 8 - Hairpin turns are awsome. Spinning adds an extra thrill (Although trims are bad.)
Line: 4 - Can be bad, but when there's more cars it moves a little bit faster.
Overall: 8 - It was awsome, but then came the trims...

IW is one of the few rides that I simple really dont like. It is so rough that it makes it unenjoyable. I would not really miss it if it were taken down, I don't really ride it anyways...
1. Voyage
2. X
3. Millenium Force
4. Top Thrill Dragster
5. Raging Bull

'05 Bull: 113

I thought we were talking about rajun cajun.

Anyways.. here's what I think about rajun cajun.


Roughness: 1-not too rough.
Enjoyable: 7- kinda fun, but at the same time, a bit dull.
Line: 2- I hate the line for this ride. Very slow, and doesn't move much.
Overall: 8- if there's too long of a ride, i usually just forget it.

Roughness: 3 its fairly smooth but it can be really rough, like on my b-day, may 14th, lets just say some pretty sore arms...
Enjoyable: 8 its not worth that wait but its good.
Line: 1 the line has nothing really intresting to look at (like some rides) and its uncovered, sunburn sucks
Overall: 8 i like it but it lost a point for hitting LAFFfan in the head on opening day (lol)

Next Rated Ride: AMERICAN EAGLE (both sides if you choose)

CoasterChick92 was the first besides me (I've done two already.) to post what she (<hopefully ha ha j/k) wanted. So, American Eagle is.

Roughness: 5 (for both) - They are rough at times, but not so rough at others. The last part would probably be the roughest even though that's not really rough for me.

Enjoyable: 2 (for red) 4 (for blue) - I like the backwards idea better than going forward, but for either side, I would rather choose another ride.

Line: 8 - It's usually not empty the very few times I do ride it even when one side is going.

Overall: 3 (both) - As I said before, I rather choose another ride. I can't declare this a great woodie (in my opinion of course).

Next Time: I still choose Demon

American Eagle (Red)
Roughness:10-Not bad at all, and the parts that have some roughness are good.
Enjoyable:9-Depends on the row.
Line:8-The line is usually around 10-15 minutes on an average day. But at night it dies down.
Overall:9.5-Favorite ride that I've ever been on.

American Eagle (Blue)
Roughness:7-Not too rough, but it can be, because I always ride in back row.
Enjoyable:8-I like the airtime, but after a few rides I will get dizzy or stomache sick.
Line:8-Last year it was always shorter than red sides line, but because of the one train operation at the beginning of this year it has a longer line.
Overall:7.5-Not my favorite ride, but still a pretty good ride. I hope they keep this side going backwards for good.

Red
Roughness - 2 It's really smooth for most of the ride. I like some of the roughness anyhow.

Enjoyable - 8 It's a great ride, I love it. Front row is probably the best, back row comes very close though. Airtime on the first drop in the back row is amazing!

Line - 7 I don't have to wait for this ride for very long usually, and I probably would never wait for it if it had a lot of switchbacks open. I don't know, it's somewhat worth a long wait I suppose.

Overall - 8 It's an awesome ride, and that's al I have to say.

Blue
Roughness - 3 A little bit rougher than red but not that much, especially after the work they did on it recently. Like I said before, I enjoy some roughness.

Enjoyable - 8 Going backwards is awesome, and I will usually ONLY go in the front row, you can see eveything and plus you're in the back of the train and it's just awesome.

Line - 8 Same as I said for Red... except it's slightly more worth the wait, and doesn't have as much of a wait a lot of the time.

Overall - 8 Great ride.

Red
Roughness - 4 - Not very rough, but I wish it were rougher.
Enjoyable - 7 - Not as fun as going backwards, but still one of the best classics in the park.
Line - 10 - I love having walk-ons everytime.
Overall - 7 - Still a great ride after all these years.

Blue
Roughness - 6 - It can get pretty rough on the helix, which is great.
Enjoyable - 9 - I love going backwards, especially the drop from the helix.
Line - 10 - Same as above, even though this is a bit longer than a walk-on
Overall - 9 - One of the best at the park.

Red:
Roughness: 3 its not really rough but hey, everyone and everything has a bad day!
Enjoyable: 7 Eagle is one of my favorite rides
Line: 2 when there's more than one train running there's usally no line at all untill you get to the station. but when there's only one train it moves once in a great lifetime! :D
Overall: 7 i love this ride, its in my top three (after bull and vu)

Blue:
Roughness: 2 new track, but again, bad days happen, its a fact of life.
Enjoyable: 8 it gets even better when its backwards!
Line: 3 this one is a little worse than red and it doesnt really move when there's one train.
Overall: 9 it gets one extra point for being backwaqrds and one for new track
